Thank you. The dispatcher never routed a police officer to her apartment. And officials didn't put two and two together until the next day when they realized that there was a murder investigation underway at the same location. Norman police detective Jim Parks, who's working the case today, has analyzed those phone calls over and over.

The fact that nobody had been called to at least do a welfare check at the apartment surprised police. It was protocol to alert patrol officers of an emergency call, and they couldn't help but wonder if they had been dispatched, if they would have interrupted the attack. Of course, no one can say for sure that Owachigeet would still be alive if police had been dispatched.

But it's an element of the case that's always frustrated her family. In fact, Detective Park said that there ended up being an internal investigation and the dispatcher was actually let go because of the whole thing. The 911 calls made police lean further into their theory that whoever tore up Awachigi's apartment likely killed her.

The calls also provided a decent jumping off point for the investigative timeline because now they had confirmation that Awachigi had been alive and not alone at her apartment around 6 a.m. the morning of September 24th. That detail also helped police confirm Moose's alibi, which checked out. He was in Oklahoma City when Awachigi called 911.

Around this time, officers in Norman made arrangements for another police department to notify Awachigi's mom, Roberta, of her death, because she lived in Florida.

The Seminole Police Department assured Roberta that detectives in Oklahoma were working hard to find her daughter's killer. But it didn't matter. Roberta was on the next flight out.

I felt anger. After talking to Roberta, police learned that Awajiki was born and raised on the Seminole tribe's Big Cypress Reservation, which is in the Florida Everglades about two hours northwest of Miami. Everybody knows Awajiki.

Not only that, but Osceola is a prominent name in the Seminole tribe. They're descendants of Chief Osceola, who's a famous tribal leader. Police and relatives wondered if Awachige's killer knew that she received a monthly stipend from the tribe because of her prominence, and if she had been targeted because of that.
